Feeling Sunny and at last, a price guide.

Hi Friends!

These sunflowers were so fun! Sunflowers symbolize gratitude (or haughtiness- I'm going with gratitude). I love how they turn to face the sun. They are simple, but so lovely! I'm feeling grateful that I am able to paint and that it brings me so much joy.

I used Nancy Medina's color recipe from my workshop notes but pushed it a little more toward realism. I'm happy with the results and think I'll keep it for myself. The composition could be a little better but I like the movement in the leaves.
If you have never seen Nancy's work, google her. The best sunflowers ever! Dreama Tolle Perry is another artist with incredible sunflower painting ability!

I used a 10x10 thick gallery wrapped canvas and I really liked working on the deeper canvas.

Now, for those of you who have ask, yes, I would like to sell some of these! I have had a hard time deciding how to charge for them. Since I have recently returned to painting I have decided to pay myself as an intern as I am experimenting with different styles, surfaces and paints. They are basically priced minimum wage for time spent, plus materials.

 This is how it works out:

• 8x8 - $40
• 8x10- $45
• 10x10-$50
• 12x16 - $75
• 16x20-$100

I'll post the price with the pic and and if you want it , Facebook message me!

Have a great day!
